This pair of steel garden gates was commissioned by a customer
with a passion for the Art Nouveau period. The design uses a bare
minimum of straight lines and features long elegant
forged
tapers throughout. The
gates were built without a conventional rectangular frame, giving them
a real sense of movement, flow and vitality.
The more functional parts of the gates, such as the drop bolts and
catch, were designed to blend in with, and complement the flowing
curvilinear design. The gate was
galvanised,
then finished with hand rubbed
graphite
enhanced paint to give it a subtle silver-black finish which highlights
the texture of the
forged steel.
